Is it normal that my frenulum is not all that sensitive?

I have read and observed that most guys claim that the frenulum is their most sensitive spot. I am uncircumcised and have to say that this is definitely not the case for me.

Firstly, I have to say that mine is a bit unusual, because it has a “hole”. In other words, it looks like it was pierced, but the hole itself is pretty big. This is not caused by PE and it has been like that ever since I can remember. Around the age of 18 I realised that this was not the case for most guys. I am 24 now.

Moreover, I cannot recall it ever being an extremely sensitive spot. The area around the frenulum (including the part of the head) is decently sensitive, but once I pull the frenulum away from the head and start massaging it, it is noticeably less sensitive than the glans itself. Is that normal?

And even though the area of the head where the frenulum is located is sensitive, it is nowhere near as sensitive as the outer ridge of the glans that is facing me. In fact that’s the area that is responsible for an orgasm the most.

To add more information, when I am erect, my skin doesn’t get pulled back naturally and I prefer to have it over the glans. I can pull it back, but it doesn’t feel that comfortable and since my glans is too sensitive, it is actually a bit unpleasurable.

So my question is if that is too weird or there are other guys with frenulums that are not that sensitive? And in case yours is, is it the frenulum per se that is sensitive, or the area around it? And is this area the most contributing factor for reaching climax?

If that’s not normal, what could have caused it? Could it be that masturbation over the years has made it like that (I used to masturbate a lot as a teen, but never too forcefully) or I am just screwed with less sensitive frenulum? Am I “missing out” and is it possible to make it better or I am just overthinking it?

Hi Rechner

Honestly I think you are overthinking it a little bit. Every dick is different.

My most sensitive spot is the border of my glans (at the largest circumference). Has always been and may remain like this. I am circumsized, but I even think it has nothing to do with it.

As long as you have a well functioning unit there is no reason to have sorrows.

Hope this reliefs you

Hi Rechner,

Mine is not sensitive either and I am circumsized. Like Richard65 says I would just ignore that and accept my penis the way it is. The only time I was ever concerned was after reading Cosmo and them making some kind of weird and ludicrous sex trick suggestion involving it. My solution? Stop reading Cosmo.

*smile*

That, generally speaking, is a good idea.

Avoid mental self-castration, read more Hemingway, Jack London, Kipling, Shakespeare, Henry Miller and Bukowski. Most important, Bukowski!

:-)

As I’ve said to you before Rechner, circumcised guys glans’ rub against clothing, which would be uncomfrortable for an uncircumcised guy, but circumcised guys have orgasms just as strong as uncircumcised guys. I know: I’ve been both as an adult. A car doing 100mph is doing the same speed, regardless of whether it took 7 seconds or 10 seconds to get there.

You are not missing out on anything. It’s the brain reading and interpreting the signals that is important, not the sensitivity of any particular part. Most guys have had a situation where they are super-excited with a new and hot woman, and cum very quickly - their penis was not any more sensitive than normal; their brain was more sensitive! :D

Thank you all for your responses! It was definitely a relief!

Out of curiosity, why would the frenulum be the most sensitive spot for some guys and the corona for others? I am aware that all dicks are different, thus some fluctuations make sense, but that’s a huge difference in terms of most pleasant location. E.g. different women have different vulvas and respond to stimulation differently, yet the clitoris is always the hot spot. It seems weird that male anatomy is not as consistent…

Allright, the distribution of nerve endings in the human penis seems to vary considerably. As women can be more vagina or clitoris-oriented in terms of sensitivity, male have different hotspots too. Don’t ask me why, because I think nature doesn’t care that much as long as the tool is working (aka is able to receive enough stimulus to produce an orgasm and ensure the reproduction).

Well, speaking in evolutionary terms blow up a clitoris to 5.5x4.5 inches and you will notice that nerve endings will be unevenly distributed among women too. It is, with all the double entendre, a matter of size :-)

I have no real sensitivity on my frenulum. I have been edging for a while now and believe it gets to a point where I pause because I’m at the point of no return. Then I touch around my glans and continue to go to the PONR over and over. I think at this point I am now ballooning.

But from what I read to be ballooning the frenululm needs to be involved.

Just wanted to clarify we are all built different and I agree with this post.

This is an interesting topic and I would like to relate my experience to it. It shows that as we are as humans thus our penises are very individual. But to me it shows also that this organ is extremely “intelligent” and adaptive.

Before my circumcision I never experienced that sensitivity described in connection with the frenulum. My frenulum was elastic, but still under tension when my penis was erect, thus not very pleasant to touch or stimulate. Also the frenulum skin was quite thick and insensitive.

After having removed the frenulum things changed completely. It came clear to me, that not the frenulum itself but the area behind it is that magic spot. Now it was exposed and no tight frenulum hid it anymore.

By now I almost exclusively stimulate that very spot and it gives me the most powerful sensations. It is as if the focus of stimulation can be shifted by training the penis. E.g. during the first weeks after circumcision I stimulated the shaft only and got my pleasure. Before that I mainly stimulated the glans with my foreskin, as every intact man does I guess. But I started to try glans stimulation with retracted foreskin and got used to this, too.

My conclusion is: you train your penis how to get pleasure, the variety of pleasure is in your hands. It is up to us to explore new dimensions and possibilities…

Hey Bangel77,

I believe that the penis has the abilities to rewire sensations just like the rest of our body. I want to travel down this path and see if I can regenerate sensitivity in my frenulum. Why not!

I can’t remember that mine was ever particularly sensitive. Nowadays, after injury and PE, it’s occasionally painful, but that’s because it gets stretched and occasionally torn.

Forgot to mention: since I started to use cock rings during edging a new sensation starts to form. In the CS the point where the cock ring compresses it is generating sensations, too. I squeeze the point where the frenulum was, this puts pressure to where the cock ring is and I feel pleasure in two spots: at the frenulum and CS under the cock ring. An incredible experience!

I don’t know if everyone’s penis does this, but mine learns new excitable spots all the time. It is not that I discover them, they develop…

Rechner , not sure how this will translate into German, but here goes..
I am uncut, and I have a decently long foreskin that can be pulled all the way back leaving 2 mm of exposed shaft.
The foreskin after years of use and PE stretching is rather loose. There is no difficulty in pulling it back. The difficulty is getting it to stay back.
My frenulum is not arousing or sensitive. It’s rather numb. But, it’s a nice kind of numb.
For me, it’s the connector and with a fully pulled back foreskin, it tugs the head (gland) down. This causes the gland to be fully exposed.
I prefer to finish deep and fully puled back. If my foreskin is covering my head, I feel like I’m wearing a whole pack of condoms. (Little sensitivity at all)

So for me, its not a turn on area, but a functional area. It’s not as numb as my shaft, but a good tug causes other areas to get some stimulation. Several good tugs seem to cause me to climax.

I tend to like it when I’m in a really tight situation. I’m only 152M in girth, and depending on the day and moment, my girth comes and goes.
When intercourse is not tight and dry enough for me foreskin to be pulled strongly back, I tend to have difficulty finishing.

If I could change things, my foreskin would be short tight enough to stay retracted during intercourse.
Until then, I’ll enjoy growing into my new hat.

You are blessed, sensitivity is more of a problem than feeling less as it allows you to satisfy your partner.

As a man I feel only happy when my partner is.

I see it as divine purpose of a man to satisfy a woman.

We are the givers, they only choose whether or not they want to let us please them.

I accept this role as a man who satisfies his female fully(less than 5%) gets unconditional love.

Females can be so blinded and taken advantage of if they fully fall in love and that happens only if sex is extremely good.

That kind of love and devotion is extremely worth doing and learning tricks and tips of lasting longer and fucking better.
